Summary

Chapter Seventeen covers temperature measurement of fluids. Dealing with low velocity gas is presented: application of contact sensors, their construction, theory, methods of reducing errors and extrapolation method. Next, there follows a revue of direct and indirect pyrometric measurements.

A survey of solutions for measurement of high velocity gas of still air in conditions of natural convection and of liquids is given. Temperature measurement of high temperature gas and plasma up to several thousands of °C is often needed and this is described in the end section of the chapter.
